This time around I would
like to start with a question.
How many minutes per day of
undivided attention do you
give your other?
I want you to think hard
about the answer to this one
because it could be a reason
why you are having problems
in your relationship or indicative
of what it’s lacking.
I know everyone has lives
outside their other. But you
should be spending one-on-one
time with them whenever you
hang out for at least an hour, if
not more.
Quality time could be a way
to get to know each other without
distractions or interruptions.
My next topic is shopping.
How many times do you see a
man following his wife or girlfriend
around while she shops?
A few weeks ago, I was in
Kohl’s and I saw this couple.
He was patiently walking
behind her with a cart of
clothes.
They could have just started
shopping, he still had his
patience.
I know many guys hate shopping.
But let me tell you ,guys:
If she comes with you
in a sports store, then
you have to go with her.
It’s only fair.
It has to be two-sided. Think
about it. How fair would that
be if she always went with you,
but you never went with her?
For Christmas, I got a whole
bunch of Kohl’s gift cards, and
I wanted to buy clothes. I
asked my boyfriend if he wanted
to go with me. He said
“yes.” I actually went twice. I
went with him ,then I went by
myself and saw that couple.
I told him I wouldn’t be as
long as I normally am. I usually
take about two hours.
And girls know that’s not that
long. It takes a while for us
girls to pick out the perfect outfit.
Don’t you guys want us to
look good? Of course you do.
My boyfriend walked behind
me and watched as I searched
through the clothes. I would
ask him his opinion to keep
him included. I asked him if
he was getting impatient yet.
His response was “No.”
I even tried something on,
and he waited for me.
Eventually, I got what I needed,
and I told him I would buy
him a shirt.
The point is, men you have to
be patient with her. Girls love
when you’re this way. It
makes things so much easier to
get along with.
Here’s a question for everyone:
How do you feel about
your other being friends with
someone of the opposite sex?
Or the same sex, if you are in a
same sex relationship? Do you
care?
I know some girls will tell
their guy they don’t want them
being friends with a girl. If
she’s flirty with him, then
something could happen
between them.
Girls: In reality, your guy is
going to be friends with
whomever he wants.
You can’t really tell
him who he can or can’t
talk to.
That’swrong. You’re going to
look like
y o u ‘ r e
c o n –
trolling.
Same thing
f o r
guys, you
can’t tell
your girlfriend
who to be buddies
with.
I mean there
is a problem if
they’re hanging
out with
them more
than you. But
that’s another
thing if that’s
happening.
E v e r y o n e
n ow- a – d a y s
want a relat
i o n s h i p .
E v e r y o n e
wants to be
loved and feel
loved. But
don’t ever be
d e s p e r a t e .
Nothing is
more unattractive
than looking
hungry for
a relationship. Some people
may not mind, but most will
see that as a turn-off.
When you feel comfortable
with each other and you form a
strong bond, don’t hold anything
back.
Don’t be afraid to talk about
your childhood or anything
that happened in your past.
Even if you think the topic
you’re about to bring up is stupid,
still tell them. If you’re a
true couple, you won’t be
scared to tell them something.
Always let them know when
you’re unsure about a situation.
For example, if the two of
you are doing something
extreme such as sky diving and
you don’t have a good feeling
about it
w h e n
y o u
g e t
there,
let them
know.
They might be mad,
but what happens if you
go through with it and something
goes wrong? Say you’re
seriously hurt.
You will regret you didn’t
tell them you had a bad feeling
about it.
Since the summer is rapidly
approaching, do you have any
plans you want to do with your
other? E-mail me if you want.
I’d love to hear!
I hope you will continue to
read my articles and stick with
me. H?pe “2” Help.
